1.1 This practice is intended to be used to assign part classifications across the aviation industries that use AM to produce parts. 1.2 This practice is applicable to all AM technologies defined in ISO/ASTM 52900 used in aviation. 1.3 This practice is intended to be used to establish a metric for AM parts in downstream documents. 1.4 This practice is not intended to establish criteria for any downstream processes, but rather to establish a metric that these processes can use. 1.5 The part classification metric could be utilized by the engineering, procurement, non-destructive inspection, testing, qualification, or certification processes used for AM aviation parts. 1.6 The classification scheme in this practice establishes a consistent methodology to define and communicate the consequence of failure associated with AM aviation parts. 1.7 This practice is not intended to supersede the requirements and definitions of the applicable regulations or policies, including but not limited to the ones listed in Annex A1. Tables A.1.1-A.1.3 align the existing regulations and guidance with the four part classes established herein. However, this alignment should not be construed as an alignment of the existing regulations to each other.
